Long spoken of and rarely acted upon, the renovation and remodeling of The Seattle Center was again on the docket for Monday's City Council meeting. Center officials presented a number of new design ideas for the redevelopment of the Center. Central to these are the demolishing of Memorial Stadium and The Fun Forest. Proposed uses for the space include a new outdoor amphitheatre to replace Memorial Stadium, a brand new Center House, and plans to turn the asphalt of the Fun Forest into green space. more ›

Once upon a time about a hundred blog years ago Seattlest tried doing an 'MP3 of the Week' post, um, weekly. Possibly it lasted two or three weeks. Those were glorious weeks, sure, and the mp3's were flying for those few posts, but, of course, the well of decent tracks dried up and the feature died. One of those posts was around the holidays and featured a holiday song by Jay Cox of the Sea Navy that was super fun.

People will email Seattlest with random crap fairly often. "Please check out my potato collection," or "Just thought you should see my new site dedicated to potato collecting." Some of it we check out (that's a lot of potatos, and they look fantastic in that cabinet in the bathroom) and some of it we ignore. This week we got an email from Jay Cox of local rock band The Sea Navy alerting us to the fact that he'd written a holiday song and that it was available for listening on his site. This is the kind of email that makes Seattlest feel like an six-year-old on Christmas morning. more ›
